An 82-year-old Brussels woman escaped a potentially tragic situation on Monday when her vehicle hit an icy patch, sending her into a nearby rock wall. Deputies responded to the accident on County Highway C near Stone Road after 8:30 a.m. when they found the vehicle against the rock wall. The accident report noted that tire marks in the roadway showed that the car had run off the road and entered a nearby ditch before the collision. The woman told the responding deputy that she hit a patch of ice and started to slide off the roadway as a result. She suffered a possible injury, but not severe enough to warrant medical transport to the hospital for additional treatment.
